Now You Can Buy Home Decor Made From The Debris Of Hurricane Sandy

Downed trees, ruined buildings, and a whole lot of trash continue to be a major problem for New York residents still cleaning up after Hurricane Sandy. But NYC design writer Jennifer Gorsche saw more than just trash — she saw an opportunity for the design community to come together and raise money for Sandy victims.

What started as a small idea soon grew into a coalition of 24 designers and a silent auction. Called Reclaim NYC, artists and designers have submitted everything from table tops to wall art made from storm refuse, all to raise money for storm recovery.
